Mitchell Starc & Aakash Chopra (Photo Source: Ahead of the IPL 2025 mega auction, Delhi Capitals had retained Axar Patel (16.50 crore), Kuldeep Yadav (13.25 crore), Tristan Stubbs (10 crore), and Abhishek Porel (4 crore). The franchise had entered the auction with a purse of Rs 73 crore and bought great players like KL Rahul, Mitchell Starc, Jake Fraser-McGurk, Harry Brook, Ashutosh Sharma, T Natarajan and Mohit Sharma. The bowling unit of Delhi Capitals is looking great for the upcoming season of IPL, regarding which cricket commentator Akash Chopra has given a big statement. He said that the bowling attack of Gujarat and Mumbai is excellent. But Delhi has the best bowling attack in the death overs. Aakash Chopra said this about the fast bowling of Delhi Capitals Delhi Capitals has bowlers like T Natarajan and Mukesh Kumar, who have the power to turn the game in the last overs. Aakash Chopra praised Natarajan’s consistency, saying that his figures were among the best among Indian bowlers. On the other hand, Mukesh has become a death-bowling specialist for Delhi. At the same time, the team also has Starc and Mohit Sharma. While talking on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra said, No one has had a better bowler than him for more than 15 to 20 years. If you look at T Natarajan’s numbers and compare them with all the other Indian players, you will find that he is very, very good, and last year was also good. Mukesh Kumar’s stature has increased a lot. He has death bowling for this franchise and has performed very well. They have bought Mitchell Starc, and it has proved to be a big steal. His fees have been reduced by 50 percent compared to last time. This time he had to come in a big auction. As soon as you get into a big auction, your price gets cut in half. They also have Mohit Sharma. Delhi has the best spin bowling of this tournament- Chopra At the same time, due to the presence of Akshar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav, the spin bowling of Delhi Capitals is strong. Both the players can prove fatal for the opposing teams in the middle order. Delhi has the best spin bowling of this tournament and interestingly, they did not need an auction because they have Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav. No team has eight overs of this kind of spin and that is why both were retained. He was given a lot of money and asked to stay. On the small ground and flat pitch of Delhi, at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, a lot of sixes are hit. If you don’t have quality there you get exposed. Quality is the only thing that sets you apart from others, and the two spinners here shine like gold.
BGT 2024-25: ‘Even though Rohit has come, Rahul should play in the top order only’ Pujara’s bold statement before the Adelaide Test
The second match of the BGT series will be played between India and Australia in Adelaide from 6th December. KL Rahul (Image Credit- Twitter X) The Indian cricket team had performed brilliantly in the first match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. In the first match played at Optus Stadium in Perth, Team India had won a big victory by 295 runs. India was the first team to defeat Australia for the first time in Test cricket on this ground. So in this match, a brilliant performance was seen by the batsmen of Team India. Young Yashasvi Jaiswal played an innings of 161 runs, while former Indian captain Virat Kohli returned to form and scored the 81st century of his international cricket career. On the other hand, in the absence of Rohit Sharma, experienced wicketkeeper batsman KL Rahul, who came to open the match, was seen batting brilliantly. In the match, he played an innings of 77 runs in 176 balls, and played an important role in giving a strong start to Team India. So now the second match of the BGT series between the two teams will be played at Adelaide Oval from 6th December. However, Rohit Sharma is going to make a comeback from Team India in this match. However, even after this, experienced batsman Cheteshwar Pujara says that even after Rohit is in the playing eleven, Rahul should play in the top order. Cheteshwar Pujara gave a big statement Let us tell you that before the start of the second match between Australia and India to be held in Adelaide, Cheteshwar Pujara was quoted as saying by ESPN Cricinfo – I think, for some reason if we can continue the same batting order like KL. And if Yashasvi opens, then Rohit can come at number three, and Shubman Gill can come at number five. If Rohit wants to open, then KL should bat at number 3. Nothing after this. But I think he (KL Rahul) should bat in the top order because it suits his game. I hope we will not tamper with it.

In the Perth Test match, a lot of questions are being raised as to who should bat at number three. Actually, it is very difficult for Shubman Gill to play in the first test because he got injured in his thumb while practicing a few days ago. Experienced batsman Cheteshwar Pujara has given his stand regarding this very thing. According to Cheteshwar Pujara, KL Rahul can bat very well at number three and can win the hearts of all the fans. Speaking on Star Sports’ Press Room show, Cheteshwar Pujara said, ‘I don’t know anything about the batting order but I want to see Rahul playing this role at number three. He has a lot of experience in handling pressure. I have heard that Devdutt Padikkal can be given batting at number three but KL Rahul’s job will be easier in this order. KL Rahul has the ability to put pressure on the Australian bowlers while batting tremendously. Team India is ready for the first test match Team India has been practicing extensively in Perth for quite some time now. Rohit Sharma will not be seen playing in the first test match. In his unavailability, Team India will be captained by Jasprit Bumrah. At present, all the Indian fans would be praying that Team India should perform tremendously and win this Test series. Let us tell you that, if Team India has to secure its place in the final of this cycle of the World Test Championship, then they will have to win at least four matches in the upcoming Test series.

“He will have to talk to himself”- Ganguly gave special advice to Rahul before the start of BGT.
Lucknow Super Giants released their captain KL Rahul ahead of the IPL 2025 mega-auction. During the last edition of the tournament, the keeper-batsman had an intense conversation with owner Sanjiv Goenka after the match against Sunrisers Hyderabad and it is believed that the relationship between them soured after that. Rahul will now try his luck in the mega-auction and former captain Sourav Ganguly is hopeful that he will get a good team that will understand his importance. He said that after the controversy with Goenka, the pressure might have increased on Rahul and said that the player has to talk to himself and then leave everything behind. He also highlighted that every player goes through ups and downs in his career and something similar happened with the 32-year-old. Sourav Ganguly gave important advice to KL Rahul before BGT Ganguly said there is a lot of pressure on Rahul ever since Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) released him ahead of the 2025 mega auction of the cash-rich tournament. “He has to talk to himself,” he said as quoted by RevSportz. He has to talk to himself and say, just leave everything behind. Ups and downs are part of the game. Confidence keeps going up and down. You have to work hard in the nets and get your confidence back.” Ganguly further said, “I know he has gone through a lot. Lucknow Super Giants have released him. I don’t know if they will buy it back in the auction or not. I am sure he will get a good team and he will be able to recover his price in the IPL, but these things put pressure on players.” KL Rahul is currently on Australia tour and is part of the five-match Test series. It is considered certain that he will play in the Perth Test match, because Rohit Sharma is not available yet and Shubman Gill is also injured. In such a situation, he can play in the top order. Ganguly also said that if Rohit is not available then KL Rahul should open and Dhruv Jurel should play in the middle order.

After this, KL Rahul broke his silence on his separation from LSG and said that he wants a fresh start, wants to play at a place where he gets some freedom. He wants to explore new options. Meanwhile, former India opener and commentator Aakash Chopra has advised Chennai Super Kings (CSK) to bid for KL Rahul. Aakash Chopra believes that Rahul is the right candidate to fill multiple spots in CSK’s lineup, especially as a wicketkeeper-batsman and potential captain. Aakash Chopra said on his YouTube channel, what do they want? I think they need Dhoni’s successor, a wicketkeeper-batsman and if they get an Indian then it’s great. Everyone is saying, let me also say – he is more than 30 years old, he is going to become a father. Everyone has also rejected it, so he is right for Chennai, he is KL Rahul. So they will definitely choose KL Rahul. Ashwin will also be on CSK’s target Apart from Rahul, Aakash Chopra hinted that CSK may also target experienced spinner Ravichandran Ashwin. Chopra said, CSK has struggled with spin options apart from Ravindra Jadeja. Ashwin can bring balance to his attack in his final IPL cycle. There is also speculation about KL Rahul re-joining Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). He is ready to play with any team. Rahul’s ability to adapt to different roles could make him one of the most sought-after players in the auction.

AUS vs IND 2024-25: Umpire Simon Taufel made special comment on KL Rahul’s controversial DRS out in Perth Test
There is a special discussion in the cricket world regarding Rahul’s dismissal. Australia vs India, 1st Test (Image Credit- Twitter X) India is facing Australia in the first match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series from November 22 at the Optus Stadium in Perth. In the match, stand-in captain Jasprit Bumrah has won the toss and decided to bat first, which has not proved right for the team. However, there is a lot of discussion in the cricket world about the way experienced batsman KL Rahul was out in the match. After defending a lot of the ball, Rahul was slowly building his innings, but he was unfortunately given out in the 23rd over of the Indian innings. Mitchell Starc came to bowl this over of the Indian innings for Australia and in this over, he bowled the second ball of length to Rahul, which went very close to the bat. During this, other players including the bowler appealed, but the onfield umpire did not give the player out. But during this, captain Pat Cummins took DRS review and the third umpire gave Rahul out. But in UltraEdge it was clearly seen that the ball had hit the pad saved from the bat. On the other hand, now experienced umpire Simon Taufel has reacted to Rahul’s DRS out. Simon Taufel reacts to Rahul’s DRS out Let us tell you that Simon Taufel, while discussing with 7 Cricket about Rahul’s dismissal in the Perth Test, said – We saw in that side on shot that there was a spike on the RTS and the bat was away from the pad, in other words the bat. The lower part did not reach the pad. So rotating it in its natural course, you would have seen the second spike (on the sneako, to indicate the bat hitting the pad) come in more than if it had been rotated all the way. So former cricketer Matthew Hayden, who was commenting during this time, said – We are assuming that (Snikko) could be the outer edge of the bat, but it cannot be so. Well, the umpire’s decision is the final decision, and the player cannot protest against it. Due to this decision of the umpire, Rahul had to return to the pavilion after being out on the score of 26 runs in 74 balls.
